    It’s a done deal, Ford has sold LR

    Just got the via Rangerover.net, it seems that Ford has just sold Jag and LR to the Indian group, Tata.

    Here’s a link to the news item, of all places, in a New Zealand newspaper.

    Well only time will tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing. One thing is for sure it's not good for the long term future of any brand to be constantly sold every few years.

    Ah sad news, I love Fords and to have them owning Land Rover was IMHO great.

    My dad use to drive a TaTa in the late 70's BUT.....

    they also have tried to get get into the market place here for years
